§ 6.12. Meetings of Council.

The Council shall schedule at least two (2) regular meetings each month and as many additional meetings as it deems necessary to transact the business of the City and its citizens. The Council shall fix the days and time of the regular meetings. All regular meetings of the Council shall be held at the City of Tomball City Hall, unless the Council votes to approve a location other than the City Hall in the event it is determined to be in the public interest. All meetings shall be open and accessible to the public; however, the Council may recess to an Executive Session only for the purposes provided by the Texas Open Meetings Act. Final action thereon shall not be taken by the Council until the matter is placed on the agenda and a vote taken in an open meeting.

The City Secretary, upon written request of the Mayor or any three (3) Council members, shall call special meetings of the Council, notice of such special meetings shall be given to each member of the Council, which said notice shall state the date for such meeting and the subject to be considered at such meeting, and no other subject shall be thereby considered.
